D21m System
D21m Modules 6-3Date printed: 13.08.07
LEDs: PHANTOM 1...4 For each channel a yellow LED indicates if the pantom supply is on.
SIGNAL 1...4 For each channel a green LED indicates if input signal is present; its bright-
ness is a rough indication of the signal level.
Alignment: RA1...4 Please note that the input level trimmer potentiometers are factory-set. They
need to be adjusted only after having repaired the card.
Select 15 dBu input sensitivity. Feed an analog signal with a level of +6 dBu
to one of the analog inputs. Measure the digital output level either on the
MADI output or, after routing through the core, on one of the AES/EBU
outputs. Adjust the level with the corresponding FINE ADJUST trimmer
potentiometer to –9 dB

Important! If wired correctly, the microphones are isolated from the Local Rack chassis.
The circuit inside the microphone takes its supply from pins 2 and 3 (+ and –)
for the positive, and from pin 1 (GND) for the negative reference. If a patch bay
is implemented, GND (pin 1 on XLR connector) of each microphone input
must be connected to its corresponding GND pin, but not to the chassis. If
chassis instead of GND is used as negative reference for a microphone, it can
occur that the GND net of the Local Rack is pulled towards –48 V. This causes
the HD link receivers not to work correctly or to be damaged, depending on
the type and number of microphones connected.
As a workaround, GND and chassis may be connected inside the Local Rack.
frame. In cases where currents ow between the chassis nets of multiple devices,
the analog signals can degrade in quality (e.g. perceivable as hum).
